Property code: OC-2179

Escape to this picture-postcard flint property that’s as cute as a button outside, boasting five bedrooms, and was originally converted from two separate cottages. Inside, relax amid the beautiful fusion of modern design and furnishings with original and authentic features. It makes a dream cottage to retreat to in total comfort for an extended family or group of friends with two canine chums invited too. Located in Wighton, you’re right on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there’s plenty of exploring to set tails wagging.

Originally two cottages, combined into one lovely holiday retreat with charming touches for that special holiday treat. The elegant lounge welcomes you in with its sofas, ceiling beams, wood burner and window seats. There’s another snug seating area at one end of the modern, country-style kitchen complete with Aga and more beams. Once you’ve cooked, eat in comfort around the rustic table in the dining room under its vaulted and beamed ceiling. You have a choice of staircases to get upstairs: one traditional Norfolk winder from the kitchen and another staircase from the lounge. Two king-size and three double bedrooms comprise the sleeping quarters, all with a sense of calm and elegance and some even boasting cathedral-beamed ceilings or antique statement beds. Through the French doors from the dining room there’s a pretty furnished patio with a BBQ and an enclosed lawned garden, perfect for the dogs to sniff about.

Treat the whole pack to a meal at the dog-friendly pub if you don’t fancy self-catering or just enjoy the tranquil, rural setting in and around Wighton. Watch your canine chums go mutts on the sands at Wells-next-the-Sea (4.5 miles) or at Holkham Beach (6 miles). Take a trip 3 miles north to enjoy a ride on the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway with your canine companion, or 3 miles east you and your pup pal can explore the ancient ruins of Binham Priory.

We absolutely loved our stay at Willow Cottage. The decor, coziness, beds, outside space (we were lucky to have wonderful weather) were all amazing. We found the location to be perfect - the village is so peaceful, but within such a close distance to so many other lovely places and beaches. And the proximity to the excellent village pub? Ideal!!
